Here's my attempt at the 500-pt GMLS squad.

I will dispute that claim. He is awesome one on one against anyone except Vong and I suppose disintegration.

But squad wise, he is average. Almost all top tier squads can handle him in a squad vs. squad match up.

It all depends on how you play him. His high HP and defense with force powers would suggest that he's a tank. I would agree with you if you played him like Bane. But he does not do well at the very front. Playing him towards the middle with a lot of back up characters, like the rangers and exceptional apprentices, has worked very well for me.

Hehe, I figured that was a case of fast fingers, but I couldn't resist...

I played that squad on a realease tournament and I was impressed because in one of my games it killed a jensari defender and cade. i was very impressed.

That would be fun to play out. Don't forget that Luke's DSSM does 30 back to Vader!

There are VERY few pieces in the game that can do "well" against GMLS 1 on 1. I think it's ridiculous trying make comparisons with a 115 point character as the opposition.

Wouldn't the Twin be considered part of the same attack so it would still get the +10 bonus?

Also, for each part of the twin attack, I believe Vader would Djem So in return. It could play out like this:



That's 220 damage inflicted by Luke and 200 damage inflicted by Vader, so obviously one of them would be dead before that ended.

This is very true, though sometimes the way it runs can vary, depending on how the reroll with that 2nd force point goes. If he's lucky and gets the reroll on the first failed LS defense, he'd be at 70.

But that being the case, Luke's not completely out of options, but definitely has to be careful. Luke's best option to gain an advantage is to attack Vader as few times during a single turn as possible, and to use the force points he gains for LS defense, and to try and get Vader to attack before Luke activates (though this won't happen if the Vader player knows what he is doing). Luke should never do more than 1 Djem So to Vader in a round in which he has not activated, and should probably do no more than 1 regular set of attacks per round. If Vader attacks when Luke has activated, he'll hit Luke, Luke can try and LS Defense the attack, and will probably save against 1 attack if he uses both of his force points that turn. If he Djem Sos on Vader, he'll end up begin Riposted and Djem So'd right back. If he doesn't Djem So, he'll probably only take the 40 damage. When Luke attacks, he'll do 40 damage to Vader, who will Djem So and Riposte, and will probably take 40 damage with the LS defense. If Vader attacks Luke before Luke Activates, Luke will only take 30 damage per attack, and is better off in terms of Djem Soing (though not much). And whether Luke survives or not really depends on what the rest of the squads are doing. Cade and Leia are probably his best friends in this instance, but any skilled Imperial player will do what he can to make sure they're dead first.

To be honest though Vader Scourge is just a beast against any melee attacker. I've done 1 on 1 trials between him and other melee figures and he will kill any other melee attacker, or at least the ones with a Force Rating. Vader will probably die in the process against the more expensive figures, but it can be a worthwhile trade off. If both sides use all their available attacks, both figures will probably die.

Non-Unique Allies...
